We have brought together firearms organizations and gun violence prevention advocates in Franklin County, PA; Adams County, PA; and Washington, DC to take joint action that improves gun safety and prevents violence. Participants include civically minded residents associated with firearms organizations or violence prevention organizations.

Key program activities:
  1. Influence skills workshop in Waynesboro, PA
  2. Project design workshop in Washington, D.C.
  3. Implementing a project across Franklin County, Adams County, and D.C. to achieve key gun safety and violence prevention goals identified by participants.  Projects may include efforts to reduce gun-related deaths from suicides, domestic violence, and intra-community conflict.

See the public statement the group issued in December 2019 here.
